Gold Core Is A Star, You Call This Cultivating Immortality?

Chapter 301: Trouble at the Carnival

After exchanging Martial Dao insights with Yang Shan for a while, Qi Yuan returned home.

As soon as he got home, he saw a cat lying limp on the sofa, seemingly weak and miserable from being tossed around.

Seeing Qi Yuan come back, the cat glanced at him indifferently without any expression.

Robot Zero One brought a cup of hot tea and stood beside Qi Yuan, resembling a dedicated butler.

"The number of fans has increased by 4572, and yesterday's earnings were 2321 yuan."

"The goods transported during the carnival have arrived and are stored in the warehouse."

"Seven videos were filmed today, but editing has not been done yet. It is estimated to be completed tomorrow."

"Regarding the limits of Martial Dao, Zero One searched various online information and even infiltrated the national data repository of the Qin Yuan country, obtaining 145 useful pieces of information."

"After analyzing and organizing these 145 pieces of information, a conclusion was reached."

"To break through the limits of Martial Dao, one needs to go to the Martial Dao ruins."

"At present, there are a total of 231 Martial Dao ruins around the world."

Zero One reported various pieces of information.

Nowadays, it evolves every day.

One could even say that it is stronger than the ordinary puppets in Ash Water World.

It possesses powerful hacking skills and can even infiltrate the secret database of the Qin Yuan country to obtain hidden information.

Beside him, Xie Xinsu heard Zero One's voice and felt indignant.

This robot is simply not human, even more heartless than a capitalist. Today, it dragged her to film seven videos.

Filming seven videos is one thing, but relying on her to earn two thousand yuan a day, the result is that she eats cat food that costs only a few dozen yuan per kilogram.

There are no cat toys or cat climbing frames at all.

Isn't this outright animal abuse?

Xie Xinsu didn't realize that she had slowly accepted the fact that she had become a cat.

But when she heard the last part, a smile curved on her small mouth.

In this day and age, they still want to cultivate martial arts.

The Arching Star is about to recover its spiritual energy, and only those who cultivate immortality have a future.

Only by cultivating immortality can one hope to achieve the Great Dao of longevity.

Of course, now that she is a cat, even if she has these thoughts, she cannot express them.

Even if she could express them, why would she introduce the Immortal Dao to this cold and heartless man who doesn't know its value?

Most importantly, if she could showcase other talents, it goes without saying that she would definitely be filmed and tossed around by this dog-like robot.

When will this kind of life end?

"Martial Dao ruins?" Qi Yuan was slightly stunned.

He didn't receive any relevant information from Yang Shan.

But upon hearing that this information was obtained from the secret database of the Qin Yuan country, Qi Yuan understood.

Although Yang Shan is at the limit of Martial Dao, his understanding of Martial Dao may not be as deep as that of some professors.

In a society like the Qin Yuan country, all kinds of influential figures definitely have thoughts of immortality.

There are definitely a terrifying number of experiments related to immortality.

It is normal for influential figures to focus on Martial Dao.

If there is hope to break through the limits of Martial Dao in the Martial Dao ruins, after the Martial Dao Conference ends, he will go and take a look.

Now, there are only three days left until the Martial Dao Conference begins.

He doesn't have time to go to the Martial Dao ruins.

"It seems that your hacking skills are quite impressive, being able to steal such hidden information," Qi Yuan couldn't help but admire.

Zero One was created by him, and the stronger its abilities, the more pleased Qi Yuan is.

"Not only that, if I want, I can almost obtain any information on the internet," Zero One proudly said.

"When I was searching online, I also came across some interesting things. I organized them, and if the master wants to see, I can send them to the master," Zero One said.

It is becoming more and more human-like.

"What interesting things?" Qi Yuan asked.

"It's..." Zero One lowered its voice.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan's expression became strange. "Spreading pornographic and obscene information is illegal. Besides... you're not my friend."

"Only spreading among friends is not illegal."

Qi Yuan did not receive this file package.

It's just some electronic data.

Even ordinary humans are made up of various elements such as carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, right?

The next day.

Qi Yuan went to the martial arts gym again.

This time, shortly after he started practicing Martial Dao, Xu Tiehua came running to find him.

"Junior Brother Qi Yuan, there are only three days left until the Martial Dao Conference. Do you want to have a match in the team competition?"

Xu Tiehua was looking forward to the team competition.

Now that he had money and power, he wanted to become famous.

Sometimes, fame can be useful, and some gimmicks can have a huge impact.

"No rush, let's gather the night before the competition," Qi Yuan casually said.

This confused Xu Tiehua, but he composed himself and said slowly, "Will that be enough time? The rules for the team competition are quite complicated. We should come up with tactics first, maybe we can achieve better results."

"The rules of Martial Dao are just about who has the stronger fist, right?" Qi Yuan questioned, "By then, I'll just knock down all my opponents, won't that solve the problem?"

This once again left Xu Tiehua speechless.

Qi Yuan was not wrong in what he said.

But that is based on having strong power.

The four members of Mingwu Martial Arts Gym who were participating in the competition were not very strong.

Especially Qi Yuan, who probably hadn't even obtained the Martial Artist certificate, how could he say such things with a straight face?

But when Xu Tiehua thought about Qi Yuan actually having a certificate, he could only helplessly say, "You're right, but... our strength is not enough, we have to rely on tactics."

"No wonder our strength is not enough, you guys chat all day long. If you practiced martial arts as seriously as I do, would you still be afraid of not having enough strength?" Qi Yuan casually said.

He was still punching.

Although his progress had slowed down after reaching the limit of Martial Dao, he still persisted in practicing martial arts.

Qi Yuan's words made Xu Tiehua blush a little.

He didn't expect Qi Yuan to be a true martial arts fanatic.

And he had always treated Martial Dao as a business card. Hearing Qi Yuan's words, he felt a bit ashamed.

"You're right, we should focus on practicing martial arts." Xu Tiehua decided not to disturb Qi Yuan anymore.

"Martial Dao... is quite interesting," Qi Yuan looked at Xu Tiehua and said softly.

In the past three months, as he practiced martial arts every day, his understanding of Martial Dao had deepened.

He knew that he had not yet entered the path of Martial Dao.

In his opinion, the potential of Martial Dao in this world was no weaker than that of Immortal Dao in other worlds.

"Martial Dao is interesting?" Xu Tiehua was a little puzzled when he heard Qi Yuan's words.

However, he didn't ask any further questions and left directly.

Not far away, Wang Shiqiao saw this scene and couldn't help but give Qi Yuan a thumbs up, "You're bold, daring to speak to Xu Ge like that."

Although Xu Tiehua was approachable in the martial arts gym, the students still respected and revered him.

They couldn't imagine themselves directly confronting Xu Tiehua like Qi Yuan did.

"I'm just speaking the truth," Qi Yuan glanced at Wang Shiqiao, "But I am indeed braver than you."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Wang Shiqiao's face froze.

"You shouldn't have said that to that Guiran person either," Wang Shiqiao said angrily.

"Why don't you say that to him?" Qi Yuan shrugged.

Wang Shiqiao's courage was still as small as ever.

Upon hearing Qi Yuan's words, many of the students present laughed.

Since three months ago, when Wang Shiqiao and an officer from Wugui Country had a public argument, that officer had been sending private messages to insult Wang Shiqiao every day.

Wang Shiqiao couldn't help but argue with each other every day.

They exchanged insults for a full three months.

Of course, it was limited to online quarrels.

This matter spread in the martial arts gym and became a joke.

That's why Qi Yuan said that Wang Shiqiao was timid.

If it were him, let alone insulting him online for three months, he would go over through the internet and kill the other person on the same day.

"If he dares to come to Tianyue, I will definitely make sure he leaves with his tail between his legs!" Wang Shiqiao said angrily, glaring at Qi Yuan. "This didn't happen to you. If it happened to you, what would you do?

Would you rush to the battlefield and beat up that arrogant officer?"

At this time, Xing Yu laughed and said, "Forget about Qi Yuan, if it were me, I would have blocked and blacklisted him a long time ago, and wouldn't have argued with him online for three months.

By the way, I wouldn't have argued with him online in the first place."

Qi Yuan glanced at Wang Shiqiao and said, "If he insults me like that, I will definitely go and kill him."

"Who doesn't brag?" Wang Shiqiao said loudly.

"In the past, on the Divine Flower Gathering forum, someone kept insulting me and framing me.

Fortunately, there are true feelings in the world, and there are good people who helped me record those people.

Then, I traveled thousands of miles and judged each of them.

At that time, I didn't even have a mental illness certificate, but I dared to do that.

Now that I have the certificate, would I still shrink back?"

Qi Yuan said truthfully.

"Stop bragging, what is Divine Flower Gathering?"

"A cultivation forum!" Qi Yuan replied.

"Cultivation is even involved, it's really outrageous!"

"If it were made up, it definitely wouldn't be so outrageous.

For something so outrageous, I actually think it's true," Xing Yu laughed.

"If it's true, can I join Divine Flower Gathering?" Wang Shiqiao smiled.

"No, because... your aptitude is too low."

Qi Yuan directly refused.

Back then, he had put in a lot of effort and only joined Divine Flower Gathering with the help of his junior sister Jiang Lingsu.

Not just anyone can join Divine Flower Gathering.

Wang Shiqiao's aptitude for cultivation is average at best, far from being a genius.

"Tsk, are you afraid that I will expose your true colors if I join? You traveled thousands of miles to kill people, have you ever been abroad?" Wang Shiqiao laughed loudly, mocking him like crazy.

At this moment, Qi Yuan's phone rang.

He was slightly stunned.

Because not many people knew his phone number.

Generally speaking, no one would call him, especially at this time.

Now, an unfamiliar number was displayed on the screen.

"Hello." Qi Yuan answered the phone.

On the other end of the phone, there was an anxious and hesitant voice.

"Is this Mr. Qi?"

"Who is this?"

"I am the wife of Kuanghuan, Kuanghuan... something happened.

I... I don't know what to do. I begged many people, but there is no way. In the end... sob... "

The woman's voice on the phone was choked up.

It could be heard that she was in a very bad state, and her mental state was close to collapse.

Her speech was also unclear.

Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Where are you?"

"I'm in... Xinyang..."

"Okay... I'll come over later."

Qi Yuan thought for a moment and decided to go there.

After all, the carnival can be considered his collaborator.

And in these three months, he has been wholeheartedly helping Qi Yuan with his affairs, so Qi Yuan doesn't have to worry.

All kinds of mutated sea monsters and such, he catches them as soon as they are mentioned.

It can be said that he is Qi Yuan's spokesperson in the outside world.

If he gets into trouble, Qi Yuan will still lend a hand.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Shiqiao approached and said, "What happened? Do you need our help?"

On the phone, Wang Shiqiao heard a woman crying.

Obviously, something happened on Qi Yuan's side.

As members of the same martial arts gym and social circle, they can be considered friends.

When something happens, everyone is willing to help each other.

Xing Yu also asked, "If it's difficult, you can tell us. Although we don't have much ability, there is strength in numbers."

The martial arts gym is also a social circle and forms an interest-related body.

People like them, who are "moderately wealthy," seek warmth in unity and can exert considerable power.

"No need, it's just a small matter... a friend of mine got into trouble, I'm going to take a look," Qi Yuan casually said.

As he spoke, he sent a message to Ling Yi on his phone, asking Ling Yi to arrange a ticket for him.

"It's good that it's a small matter." Hearing this, Wang Shiqiao breathed a sigh of relief. "You have to handle it quickly, don't miss the Martial Dao Conference in three days."

"Okay." Qi Yuan nodded, bid farewell to everyone, and left the martial arts gym.

...

In Xinyang City, inside a luxuriously decorated villa.

The young woman still had tears on her face, and at this moment, her mind was in chaos.

Beside her, there was also a sturdy woman, anger burning in her eyes.

"Damn it, bullshit about the bigger picture, bullshit about not wanting to get involved."

"My brother was working for them, and now he's been captured by Wu Gui. They won't talk about rescue, applying diplomatic pressure, or even disassociating themselves?"

Speaking of this, the sturdy woman was very angry.

She is the sister of Kuang Huan, Kuang Xi. But at this moment, she couldn't feel any joy.

The young woman looked exhausted. "I went to find that general, and he said he is powerless in this matter."

"What powerlessness? They're just afraid of implementing it," Kuang Xi gritted her teeth. "Reluctant to make an effort!"

Kuang Huan has been working for the military of Qin Yuan Guo, helping to clean up some military stockpiles and supporting Yue Lang Guo in its resistance against Wu Gui Guo.

This time, there was a traitor within Qin Yuan Guo, and Kuang Huan was exposed and captured by the military of Wu Gui Guo.

"But that general said... Kuang Huan is not in any danger, he said as long as we wait patiently, within three years at the latest, Wu Gui Guo will send Kuang Huan back."

"I went to ask others, and most of them said the same," the young woman said helplessly.

She comes from a relatively ordinary background and is unable to handle such big matters without Kuang Huan.

The generals above Kuang Huan are unwilling to help her, and she has no way to do anything.

She went to many of Kuang Huan's friends, and the answers she got were all similar.

These people are unwilling to get involved in this matter, mostly comforting her to be patient and wait a little longer, that Kuang Huan will definitely be released.

But she can't be at ease without seeing Kuang Huan.

"A bunch of trash, when my brother was still around, they flattered him. Now that he's in trouble, they treat us like a plague?" Kuang Xi became more and more angry as she spoke.

"It's fortunate that Mr. Qi is willing to come here."

"I wonder if he has any way to save Kuang Huan," the young woman has already regarded Qi Yuan as her only lifeline.

"Mr. Qi... who is he?" Kuang Xi looked puzzled.

She is not familiar with Qi Yuan.

"He is..." the young woman hesitated for a moment, "my husband admires him very much."

"My brother admires him? Could it be someone from a certain big family?" Kuang Xi was puzzled, then disappointed.

Even if someone from a big family intervenes, it would be of no use in this situation.

After all, this is a game between two big countries.

Even their small nobility like them could be sacrificed at any time.

But the fact that Mr. Qi was willing to come still brought a trace of comfort to Kuang Xi.

Even if it's of no use, at least his attitude is there.
